About the author

Giovanni Boccaccio

1313–1375

Best known for the lively, sharp-eyed stories of The Decameron, this major early Renaissance writer helped show that Italian vernacular literature could be as rich and serious as the classics. His work blends humor, wit, and a clear view of human behavior, which is why it still feels fresh centuries later.
